At a glance, I thought Agnes' diet was really healthy. She ate plenty of fruits and vegetables and since she's in badminton, I know she must have plenty of exercise each week, which makes her a really healthy person - in my eyes, at least. I was really surprised when the nutritional tools showed that she wasn't that healthy after all.
I think Agnes' case showed me that even though we may exercise a lot and eat our vegetables, we might not necessarily be living healthily. It makes people really comprehend how just a meal can change our lives when taken in long-term - for example, a cone of ice-cream taken, say, once a week would definitely contribute many calories etc., and in the long run the person will be rather unhealthy. This shows that we should be mindful of everything we eat - even if it's just something as insignificant as a tea snack - if we're trying to aim for a perfect, healthy diet.
Even so, I think Agnes provides me inspiration to start eating my vegetables. She eats a lot, really - 20 long beans? - and I think I should start learning from her and try eating them, even if I don't like the bitter taste and the feel/smell/texture/colour of it.
